5.4 Removing Welding Electrodes
NOTE: An optional welding electrode cap removal tool is available,
which makes cap removal easy (fig. 5.6c). You can order the cap
removal tool from your local distributor or online at: www.prospot.com
The extension arm electrodes can be easily removed by lightly tapping them

Removing Piston Electrode
To remove the piston electrode:
1. Grip piston electrode with a set of pliers or vise-grips (
fig.5.6a
).
2. Rock the pliers back and forth to loosen the electrode from the holder.
3. Remove the electrode
Note: Vise-Grips shown in fig. 5.6a are specially designed to hold round
objects without damaging or scarring them. You can purchase a set from your
local distributor or online at: www.prospot.com
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to remove the electrode by hitting it.
This could damage the electrode and the spot gun.
Removing Welding Caps
To remove a welding cap:
1. Hold piston electrode with a set of pliers or vise-grips.
2. Grip welding cap with another set of pliers or wedge side cutters between
cap and shank as shown in fig. 5.6b
3. Twist the two to loosen and remove the welding cap.
IMPORTANT! N'essayez pas de retirer l'électrode en la frappant.
Cela pourrait endommager l'électrode et le “pistolet”.
NOTE: Une option d’un outil pour enlever le bouchon est disponible,
Pour faciliter le retrait du bouchon (fig. 5.6c). Vous pouvez commander
cet outil de votre distributeur local ou en ligne à l'adresse: www.prospot.com

To maintain structurally-sound welds it is important to keep your welding
electrodes clear from build-up. It is also important to maintain a 6mm weld
nugget diameter. Clean electrodes with a file and periodically replace weld-
ing caps as explained in Section 5.4 “Removing Welding Electrodes”
WARNING! The electrodes may be hot. Use caution when handling
them.
